Typing in the Age of iPads
http://bit.ly/HNZFHX Typing in the Age of iPads In the age of touchscreens and smartphones, typing drills on a traditional QWERTY keyboard may not be the best use of anybody's time. Instead, new technologies are helping overcome the vexing issues of speed, accuracy, and screen space that are the consequence of importing standard typing techniques to mobile technologies. |

Typing and health advice
http://www.learntt.com/articles/typing_and_health.pdf Typing and health ... advice As far as health is concerned, there are many conditions that need to exist if we want to protect our children from problems that may be caused by the inappropriate use of the wrist, fingers, eyes, sitting incorrectly, etc. It has been found that most children who learn to type at an early age do not report any problems or pain. The fact is that it is very difficult to change habits after being accustomed to typing in a certain way, and this influences our entire posture in front of the screen. |

Keyboarding Skills: When Should They Be Taught?
http://www.education-world.com/a_curr/curr076.shtml Keyboarding Skills: When Should They Be Taught? With an enormous computer presence in schools, the question is no longer whether to teach keyboarding but when to teach it. "Most research supports starting students on formal keyboarding around grade 4," says Theresa Tovey, occupational therapist in Region #4 (Chester, Deep River, and Essex) in Connecticut. "All kids do not have the eye-hand motor coordination to learn keyboarding skills earlier than that." |
